Security operations on par for APEC meet

The security operations for the upcoming 2018 Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) are on track.

Assistant Commissioner of  Operations David Manning informed PNG Loop there was a full briefing conducted by the RPNGC, PNGDF and PN CS to go over capacity requirements.

Manning outlined that the main area of focus would be to build and enhance security requirements for the three disciplined forces that will be providing the basis of the in-country security.

He says that all force reps were told to align all their training and preps to beef up in terms of intelligence-based operations.

Meanwhile,  in terms of logistics, Manning says there will be looking at acquiring assets that will allow the forces  to provide a level of security which is expected at such a high profile meetings like APEC.

Manning explained that there is a basic requirement for APEC in terms of provision of security and assures that all these set requirement are now being worked on by the RPNGC as the lead agency.
